Which Speedloader do you carry?

[RogerRCKH]

REVOLVER SHOOTERS: Help me out. Which brand/type speedloaders do you carry? I am looking into expanding my line of speedloader holders, and want to know whats popular and whats not.

Both my revolvers (S&W 637-2 and Taurus 650 .357) have the HKS 36-A as their ammo carrier.

I very much prefer the Safariland Comp I for carry.
You just hold the body and push straight in, no knob to turn to release cartridges.

When I carried a revolver, I ended up using a speed strip instead. So the only thing I can add is the following:

I just purchased 4 speed strips, and one Safariland Comp holder from midway.... I like the idea of the speed strips.

Definately going to see some new kydex love for the Speedloader/Speed strip people.

The strips are more convenient for carry, and they work when your grips preclude a speedloader. They are trickier to index though. I try to practice reloading without looking at the weapon (with snap caps of course). With strips it's easier to lose a round on the floor.

I've also found it's much easier to handle them when not fully loaded.

So even if you're carrying a 6 shot revolver, only load the speed strip with 5 rounds. That little nub they put on the strip isn't much, and having the extra grip space can make a huge difference.

I'm not a big fan of the Safariland speed loaders. I could never get them to release the rounds quickly when I needed them to. It may have been operator error. I don't know.

I ended up going back to the HKS. I think with enough practice, they're just as fast as the Safariland. YMMV.
